The Circular Carbon Economy (CCE) has gained traction as a pathway to deliver resource efficiency and relieve pressure on natural resources to achieve global climate goals. 
The CCE framework is particularly relevant in hard-to-abate sectors where decarbonization is difficult, including energy-intensive industries such as **cement, steel, and chemical production**. These heavy industry sectors are integral components of the global economy and development aspirations of the Arab region and are also growing emitters of carbon, jointly representing around 20 per cent of energy and process-related emissions globally. 
This makes decarbonization of energy-intensive industrial sectors most critical in addressing climate change and ensuring a just, inclusive transition. 
The session will stimulate discussion on how to successfully apply CCE principles in energy-intensive industries through industrial design, technology transfer, and innovative financing while promoting human wellbeing, preserving nature, cutting pollution, making economies more competitive, and creating green and decent jobs. The session will also deliver recommendations on key action areas by public and private actors to drive deployment of CCE technologies and stimulate innovation in the energy intensive industries in the Arab region.
